Key
Emergency Engine Stop
Pushing and holding the START/STOP ENGINE button or repeatedly pushing
the button while the engine is running will turn the engine OFF. Use only in
case of an emergency.
If the START/STOP ENGINE button indicator light flashes AMBER, this
could indicate a problem with the engine starting system. You may not
be able to start the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or ON. Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE: The engine may not start if the key cannot be detected. The Key
Indicator Light may flash RED or “Key not detected” may be displayed if the key
is placed in the cup holder.
Starting the Engine
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH
ACCELERATED WARM-UP SYSTEM (AWS)
The Mazda6 is equipped with SKYACTIV combustion technology.
This technology includes AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) for
optimal emission performance during cold starting conditions.
NOTE: You can drive the vehicle during AWS activation, no need to wait.
While Carrying the Key…
• Start the engine by pushing the START/STOP
EN
GINE button while pushing the clutch pedal
(M/ T) or the brake pedal (A / T).
•
Wha

t you will notice? On start-up, the engine
speed and sound are higher (1500 RPM) for less
than one minute to quickly bring the catalyst to
efficient operating temperature. The RPM will reduce
to idle once the temperature is achieved. This is
normal engine operation under cold-start conditions.
•
What

this does? This heats up the catalytic converter faster to reduce
emissions and allows Mazda to use an exhaust header on the engine (to
improve efficiency and horsepower).
•
Shu

t the engine OFF by making sure the vehicle is in Park (A / T) and
setting the parking brake, then push the START/STOP ENGINE button.
•
Act

ivate Accessories (ACC ) by pushing the START/STOP ENGINE
button once without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.
•
Tur

n the ignition to the ON position by pushing the START/STOP
ENGINE button twice without pushing the clutch or brake pedal.START/STOP

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the Mazda6 is equipped with TPMS that detects low
tire pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting
low in one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a
light in the instrument cluster (pp. 35-36) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your
tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can
operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
•
A tir
e rotation is performed.
•
Any t

ire or wheel is replaced.
•
The v

ehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let t
he tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (see tire label located on the driver’s
side door opening) on all four (4) tires.
3 Swi

tch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Pus

h and hold the TPMS “Set Switch”
(left side of dash) until the TPMS warning light
in the instrument cluster flashes twice and

a beep sound is heard once.
Tires
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on
if the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude can affect the pressure in the
tires, causing the TPMS warning light to turn on. Verify the tire pressures when
driving through extreme temperature or altitude changes.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control
Setting the MRCC
When the Mode switch is pushed,
the vehicle speed and the distance
between vehicles while in headway
control can be set. The MRCC
indication is shown in the multi-display.
The indicator light in the multi-display
and the Active Driving Display will be
green and will turn on simultaneously.
MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The MRCC system maintains vehicle speed and following distance using
a radar sensor to detect a vehicle ahead. The driver simply presets the
vehicle speed between 19 mph and 90 mph and the system will maintain a
safe following distance without having to turn the cruise control off.
MRCC WARNING: MRCC shuts off when it reaches the low mph limit. “BRAKE”
is displayed. The vehicle will not brake/stop by itself.
The system operates in two modes, Constant Speed and Headway Control modes:
Constant Speed Mode When no vehicle is detected ahead,
the driver’s set speed is maintained.
Headway Control Mode When a vehicle is detected ahead,
a distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is maintained.
NOTE: The radar for the MRCC is
located behind the Mazda emblem in
the grill. Keep this area clean to avoid
the system not working properly.

STOP

38
NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
Transmission
ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the
transmission shifts gears based on road conditions
and your driving style.
The transmission may stay in a lower gear longer
than usual when going up or down hills or driving
around corners. This feature gives you better control
and a more connected driving experience.
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HLA helps assist you when accelerating
the vehicle from a stop
while on a hill or slope.
When the brake
pedal is released
and the accelerator
pedal is pushed,
HLA prevents the
vehicle from rolling forward or backward. It operates on a downward slope
when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position, and on an upward slope
when the shift lever is in a position other than the reverse (R) position.
DRIVE SEL ECTION
SPORT mode will choose a lower gear for
increased acceleration response. It will also
hold a lower gear/delay upshifting when
it detects you are braking or cornering
because it anticipates that you will want
to accelerate out of the turn more quickly.
Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT
mode and the SPORT mode indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.
NOTE:
• If the SET button of the cruise control is pushed while in SPORT mode, SPORT
mode is switched off. SPORT mode cannot be turned on or off when cornering.
• When the ignition is switched off, SPORT mode is also switched off.
• Fuel consumption increases slightly when using SPORT mode.
